I calculate just 30-35% of Australians have symptomatic protection from Omicron based on UK study & Australian data. Boosters 3 months after 2nd dose & free rapid antigen tests are essential. Everybody can reduce spread with masks & avoiding indoor crowds. assets.publishing.service.go…

I'm still trying to find facts on what I was told by my new doctor that because I have had 2 AZ vaccinations, an AZ booster will give as much protection as Pfizer or Moderna Can't find confirmation online, no expert replies to requests for facts and doctor out of reach. Help?
